What types of videos need to go into your showreel? How do you even go about getting the video?

The thing about a good showreel is knowing what it SHOULD look like.It's basically an advert of your speaking engagements and style. So, you need a compilation of different videos, that provide event organisers with an idea of what you'll be like on stage.

You could use a single video or you could combine videos together in a showreel - make sure that it's no more than approximately three and a half minutes (otherwise people are just going to stop watching you)! A REALLY GOOD SHOWREEL gives an amazing snapshot of you on stage. To show how good you are onstage you MUST HAVE video footage.

If you haven't considered collecting video footage, then this is the VERY FIRST THING that needs to go onto your 2019 agenda of things to change!

The beast that is business overwhelm.... something that manages to get its grip on each of us at one point or another... Overwhelm is like that unwelcome house guest that you just CANNOT get rid of. It’s something that can be hard to keep in-check and manageable.

Overwhelm leaves us with these feelings of not being able to get ANYTHING done. Overwhelm feels like an unbreakable cycle.

Training yourself to not only think but also ACT differently is oh so uncomfortable!

But... it’s bloody worth it too! 👉 Step 1: notice the expectations you are putting onto an action👉 Step 2: choose to let go of the expectation👉 Step 3: list out evidence that you are in fact on the right path. We are programmed to look for what is going wrong, so we skim past the evidence of being on the right path👉 Step 4: take the next action which comes to you with no judgment or expectation of result, do it cause it feels good

If what you've been doing so far hasn’t been getting you the results you want, don’t be afraid to try a new approach!

Imagine this. You have hired a speaker for your event. You have EVERYTHING figured out and organised... EXCEPT your TIME! You are suddenly overwhelmed with a flood of questions, much like this one:What if the speaker OVERSTEPS their speaking time?

Here are a few things to consider:The only way for a speaker or even an event MC or moderator to know that they have overstepped on their speaking times is to know that these times exist - so tell them about it when you book them!

Tell them a little bit about the crowd and what to expect while on the stage. Allocating time to speakers and informing them of these times is a great way to get professional speakers off the stage.

It is easy for a speaker to get carried away by a topic while on the stage. Even the MOST EXPERIENCED professional speakers fall prey to this lapse.
